Duterte Youth to file charges against Jim Paredes

"We just wanted to show our support to [President Rodrigo Duterte]. EDSA is not under any one group. Paano naging masama na magpakita kami doon at magpakitang suporta sa Presidente?" Cardema said.

The Duterte Youth group is considering to file charges of 'unjust vexation and theft' against Jim Paredes after the heated argument during the EDSA People Power celebrations last February 25.Duterte Youth Chair Ronald Cardema explained that they were just showing their support to Duterte."We just wanted to show our support to [President Rodrigo Duterte]. EDSA is not under any one group. Paano naging masama na magpakita kami doon at magpakitang suporta sa Presidente?" Cardema said."Maya-maya, hawak namin 'yung tarp. Bigla kaming, 'yung mga nakapalibot kay Jim Paredes, bigla kaming hinataw sa tiyan tapos kinuha yung tarpaulin. We were hit on the stomach to distract us from holding the tarpaulin tapos kinuha na 'yung tarpaulin," he added.

"We were going to Luneta, but we decided that it was not the usual EDSA celebration, it was a gathering of anti-Duterte [demonstrators], and they want Duterte out of Malacañang. We wanted to show our support for our President," Cardema said.
